SOLD!!!

We officially sold our house today!!

We got another offer on our house, and it was a cash offer so not much chance of falling through due to financing woes! It was a Japanese investor. It was looking so solid, but the amount of documents that have to be signed due to relocation about killed it yesterday. We had just one final document to go, and the guy was making comments like, "maybe this just isn't meant to be" because of all the documents. We were so stressed last night because of that.

But he finally got the last doc back to us today, and now we have a signed & executed purchase & sale from the relocation company, so it's now a done deal!! If the guy backs out before closing, it's still the relocation company's house.

When we first heard about the offer, we called our realtor here & went hunting. We had a few in mind & looked at those. We had one picked out, but figured we had some more time so we went to a few she had printed off from her search.

The last one we went to was pretty much Laura's (and mine) dream house. It's painted just the way she envisioned painting, it has a nice sized yard - not too big, not too small - and it has a land buffer behind it that is forested with nice woods and a creek! Absolutly move-in ready. We won't even have to redecorate or paint or anything.

We put an offer in the next day and after just a little back-and-forth, the terms were settled & accepted ($10,000 under asking) - so we're under contract on it too!

Take a look at the pictures & such if you want here... they don't do justice to the back yard at all.

The very back is lined with azaleas that will all bloom in the spring & it will be awesome!

We don't close until Dec. 14th, so wish us luck in being patient while being so excited to get out of the apartment we've been in (it's nice, but gets cramped with the kids fighting in this close of quarters).

We should be moving in on the 15th (we hope). If anyone can make it to help us move in, that would be great! :-) - no really, the moving company should do all of the heavy work. We'll just have to unpack & put things away.

Anyway, that's why there haven't been many blog entries lately - stress!! - we'll talk to you all later!

Next entry is Laura's celebratory funky cool hair-do (can you say frosted highlights?) and nails!
